Tyrannizing Over a Parisian Tyrant

One of the most famous oculists in Paris tells droll story of his omnipres- ent concierge and how he rid himself of the mans importunities. One day the doctor stopped MT. Janitor on the stairs
 MY me feiiow,'' he said, "let me look at your eye. An! I thought so. You must have that eye treated at once. Come in an hour and I'll examine you!'' The man, in great alarm, promised to do as he was bid, and at the appointed time appeared ln the doctors office. After a thorough examination he was told noth- ing but the greatest care on the doctor S part could save his sight, It was a lucky thing for the poor concierge having an oculist in the house to watch over him! In half an hour the tables were turned; the oculist had been the terrified slave, now it was the janitor. His grati- tude knew no bounds; nothing was too good for this cher doctor who kindly dropped globule of pure water in his eye every other day, and thus saved his sight!-Boston Herald.

Anecdotes of Tom Marshall.

Tom Marshall was fond of saying ''that he and Rev. Dr. Breckinridge early in life had taken different texts. !" Toms s'was the bottle and Dr. Breckin- ridges the Bible, and certainly" added Tom, "the reverend doctor will not deny that I have closely adhered to my text. :"
 In the county in which the immortal Tom chiefly practiced at the bar an er- ratio jurist named Judge Nuttle pre- sided, and whenever Dan Rice's circus arrived the judge always announced:
 ''This court will now adjourn to see the elephant swim the Ohio River
 In cause celebre, where the defendant was tried for murder, possibly the Matt Ward case, the judge admitted some tes- timony which thoroughly disgusted Tom Marshall over the barrister's objections. He jumped to his feet, not fully recovered from a big game of draw poker the night before, and said in anger:
 "Judgc, do you know that Pontius Pilate convicted Jesus Christ by admit ting just such testimony as that?''
 The judge quickly replied: ''Clerk, fine MT. Marshall $50 for contempt of court"
 Tom rose, and, steadying his somewhat vibratory motions against tho railing fronting the judges bench, with mock gravity opened:
 "May it please your honor! It has been some months since I have seen $50 of my own money. beg your honor to lend me the money with which to pay the fine.''
 The court was astonished, but, catch ing its judicial breath, replied sotto voce:
 "Mr. Clerk, upon reflection the court is inclined to remit Tom Marshall's fine, as the state of Kentucky is better able to lose that $50 than the court isi''-Chi. cago Times.

Cheese Made from Beans.

Cheese made from beans is largely used in China. For fertility of expedient the almond eyed Celestial can double discount the most ingenious Yankee. While such cheese would not seem to be very palat- able or nutritious, yet it is said to be quite saabf and E .nto t9 the ngsb

Ron; Perley Poore,s Farn,

Maj. Ben: Perley Poore never made any money off his fine Indian Hill farm, Massa- chusetts, although under shrewd manage ment it would have returned him good income. A thrifty Bostonian is quoted in The Philadelphia Record as saying: Several years ago the major cut 200 tons of hay off it. Hay was worth $22 ton then. But, by George the major didn't sell pound of it! Not poundi He just fed it to those old white cattle of his that he kept just because they didn't have Q black hair on their hides. They ali died on his hands. He never thought of sell ing or killing them. And then his latch string was always out How could he save money?''-New York Tribune.

A Miniaturo Water Spout.

A whirlwind or small cyclone about fifteen feet wide passed over pond at Greenville, Ala, forcing the water up for about two or two and one-half feet it's entire width, and then twisting it into a pillar about @ foot in diameter. This stem was perpendicular for about six feet, when it gradually widened until a height of about sixty or seventy feet was attained. The water then fell in a spray. Those who witnessed it say that the whirlwind formed huge goblet of water, and it was one of the prettiest sights they ever witnessed. Chicago News.

Protection Against Fire.

The virtue of lime wash as protection against fire is emphasized by The Ameri- can Analyst. In France it is common to thickly coat with whitewash the beams, joists and the under side of fioorings. While this precaution will not prevent the spread of fire once under great headway, it is guard against the prime ignition that often leads to dire results.- Chicago Times.

Of the recipient of the hall each purchase a
certain moiicum Of bright woo. Of various
colors. Then one makes a small present or
writes a short note OF good wishes and winds
her portion of yarn upon it, The successive
gifts are then i1clcsed in LAYER after layer of
the wool until the ball is finished, and all the
gifts are included in the package one at a
time each interviewer with its concealing
web of threads. Now comes the charm. The
receiver is requested to knit from that hall or
to crotchet any article she may choose to fix
upon, and not by any chance to unwind the
yarn except as the work progresses 1t is
like undoing long Christmas stocking with
presents in it down to the very toe. And see
what stimulus to industry Curiosity will
grow stronger as each gift appears, and the
work is pretty certain to be swift and soon
